Abstract: A fishing lure includes a forward body portion with a removable and interchangeable tail portion. The tail portion may be interchanged quickly and easily in the field without tools and without incurring damage to the lure. In this manner, an angler may exchange the tail portion as desired for attracting different types of fish, and/or for fishing in different conditions. The forward body portion is preferably formed as a hollow plastic component, for flotation; other materials having similar properties may also be used. The tail portion is preferably formed of a soft, flexible material, such as silicone rubber as used in the manufacture of synthetic fishing baits such as worms and the like.      The back of the forward body portion includes a generally vertical slot therein, with the slot having a circular cross section and a relatively narrow entrance. The forward end of the tail portion has a bulbed cross section extending therefrom, fitting tightly but removably within the slot of the body portion. Different tail portions may be impregnated with different fish attracting scent and/or taste substances as desired, and interchanged as desired to produce the desired fish attracting action. The forward end of the forward body portion includes a laterally symmetrical bill extending therefrom, with the bill including a forwardly directed cupped or concave area on each side of the flat attachment area.      An eye or the like for the attachment of a fishing leader or line is provided in the upper center of the bill.

Abstract: A latching mechanism in a vehicle seat hinge assembly having a seatback hinge plate pivotally connected to a seat cushion hinge plate for pivotal movement between a first angular orientation corresponding to a substantially upright position of the seatback member, and a second angular orientation corresponding to a forwardly folded position of the seatback member, comprises a guide disposed in the seat cushion hinge plate and a stop disposed adjacent the guide. A link arm member has an elongate axis and a first end, a second end, and a follower member disposed adjacent the second end so as to be engaged in retained sliding relation by the guide. The link arm member is pivotally mounted adjacent the first end on the seatback hinge plate in spaced relation from the pivot axis for movement about a link pivot axis between a first latchable position corresponding to the first angular orientation and whereat the follower member contacts the stop, and a second latchable position corresponding to the second angular orientation and whereat the follower member contacts the stop, and through an intermediate unlatching position corresponding to an intermediate position between the first and second angular orientations and whereat the follower member is removed from contact with the stop. A latch is mounted on the seat cushion hinge plate for selectively holding the follower member of the link arm member in restrained contact with the stop, to thereby retain the seatback hinge plate in either of the first and second angular orientations.

Abstract: A process for fabricating a composite vessel includes the steps of: A) preforming (e.g., by winding fiber and at least one thermoplastic substance onto a thermoplastic liner) a thermoplastic shell which has at least one opening for access to the interior; B) extruding a circular cross section of a fluid parison of thermoplastic material (which preferably is chosen to have a melting point lower than that of the thermoplatic shell) into the interior of the thermoplastic shell through the opening; C) in a mold, applying at least one force (such as gas under pressure) which tends to urge the fluid parison toward the interior walls of the thermoplastic shell (which may be preheated prior to introduction into the mold) such that the fluid parison imparts heat to the thermoplastic shell; D) continuing step C) until the thermoplastic shell and the fluid parison consolidate to form a composite vessel; E) cooling the vessel until it is solidified; and F) removing the vessel from the mold. For some composite vessels, prior to step C), an insert may be introduced into the interior of the parison and positioned in alignment with the opening in the thermoplastic shell such that the insert is rendered integral with the composite vessel during step D). Suitable thermoplastic materials include polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutylene terephthalate and polyethylene terephthalate.

Title: A process for manufacturing potassium sulfate fertilizer and other metal sulfates
Inventor: HOLT TIMOTHY G
IPC: B01J8/28
Filed: 2001-08-29
Granted: 2005-03-08
Abstract: A new process of preparing potassium sulfate fertilizer and other metal sulfates from the chlorides and other halides of these metals. The process utilizes the discovery that sulfur dioxide or trioxide, when introduced as a fluidizing medium into shallow beds of the halide salts at moderately elevated temperatures ( 1000°F - 1150°F) in a counter current process results in the conversion of the metal halides into metal sulfates and the halide gas. The process is carried out in a series of true fluidized beds preferably but not necessarily arranged in a vertical configuration so that the solids flow downward due to the fluidized process and the sulfur dioxide or trioxide gases flow counter currently in an upward direction producing pure metal sulfates at the bottom and pure halide gas at the top.
